As I sit here {im}patiently waiting on the arrival of our darling babe #2, my mind goes into overdrive thinking about the fact that we are now about to give birth to our 2nd baby while living overseas as expats in Malaysia.

I’m officially 2 days late on my expected due date today and although […]

I know, I know…..it’s way past the time of being “fashionably late” in writing about the recent holiday season of 2014, but lets be honest, when was the last time a 3rd trimester mom of a 17 month old was on time for anything?! Let alone remembering her own name! So there ya go, my […]

The American Thanksgiving Holiday is clearly not celebrated throughout the world, unlike the other holidays (Halloween and Christmas) that bookend this autumn holiday. No matter to us, we find friends here in SE Asia to celebrate with always. It’s amazing how many fellow Americans are also away from families during the holiday season- sure does […]

It’s been one year already, my how time flies. December 6, 2013….I’ll never forget it. Of course every time I look at my daughter’s precious & mischievous face I’m reminded of how God’s looking after us all, no matter how little or […]

Something(one) that most people from “back home” have a huge misconception about. Something(one) that I am so innately grateful for every single day. Something(one) that I cannot live without here […]

We recently spent a 3 day weekend at the famed Perhintian Islands of Malaysia, a pairing of islands within a larger grouping known for its pristine waters, white sand, and gorgeous snorkeling & diving spots located off the NE coast of peninsular Malaysia. We chose to stay at the Tuna Bay Resort, […]

Well we’ve been home a few weeks now and I think, I THINK, that life is starting to get back to normal, whatever that means. This recent trip to the USA was the longest time away from KL yet, at a whopping 4 weeks, but yet it still flew by in a blink of an […]

I can’t believe I actually have an official toddler now. Whoa, when did that happen?! How does time all of a sudden fly by so quickly I get whiplash?! It’s surreal sometimes how quickly life goes isn’t it? Well this week I find myself packing up for our month-long trip stateside to visit with family […]
